Between the save file corruptions, disappearing vodyani fleets, minor factions that die in one turn of leeching, broken vines and the latest unleavable alliance I think i'm gonna give this game a long old break.

Taking a break is good sometimes.

Play endless legend a bit.

Yeah it's busted and I'm not even going to look at it until some major patches have been done, I Just hope they manage to fix it. The first game was more fun...so far.

I just took a long break because of the file corruptions; tried again yesterday, and it's still not fixed.  I'll come back in a couple months, maybe.

I mostly play Endless Legend at this point. Sometimes I sit down and fight with my mod for ES2, but that mod is kind of developing into a remake of every mechanic I can figure out at this point to fix the incredibly chaotic balancing.
